| abstract | - The Southern-accented CIA-trained interrogator that leads Priority Homicide/Major Crimes. Nominated for Chief of Police in Season 6, but ultimately does not get the job. Abrasive, intelligent, calculating, and temperamental.
* Action Girl: Subverted, actually. If you do see her pull her weapon, things are very bad. Not that she's not good with it as well.
* Anti-Hero: Type III.
* Bunny Ears Lawyer
* Catch Phrase - "Thank you. Thank you so much."
* Da Chief - Serves as this to the rest of the squad.
* Guile Heroine
* Lawful Neutral - Brenda values the law, and sees all her victims as equal, even if they're criminals.
* Married to the Job - Brenda veers in and out of this trope, which becomes somewhat awkward once she actually marries Fritz. Then it becomes more a Jurisdiction Friction marriage.
* Polyglot - Alas, except not Spanish...
* Never Live It Down - Her adulterous affair with Pope. Even though Brenda has since married Fritz, he's not above mentioning her affair with Pope when he feels that she is putting her ex-lover before their marriage or her own career.
* Southern-Fried Genius - Most definitely.
